Yes. Classic calendar view does not fit very well for displaying tasks. Kontact 
has a "task tool" that represent KOrganizer tasks in a better way (classical 
list with tree view).
That's up to each ical viewer to interpret due date in a different manner.

Next step is to make writable access and make some doc to explain how to sync 
with Kontact, Thunderbird, Google or your favorite smartphone, PDA...
